Conrm EverAlert Integrator Installation
a. Click on Displays in the menu bar below the DISPLAY LIST.
b. The list of Integrator(s) assigned to the site will display under Integrator menu bar. A green
status icon next to the Integrator title indicates the Integrator is communicating with the inCloud
Management Portal. A red status indicates a lack of communication between the Integrator and the
inCloud Management Portal. This means the Integrator may not be installed correctly or there is a
network ssue. Reference the Installation Manual for troubleshooting.
c. The icons under INPUT 1 and INPUT 2 should be green unless an Alarm is triggered. The icon for
the triggered input will be red until the Alarm is cleared.
EverAlert Integrator Status Indication
The status LED on the Integrator indicates the
connection status and veries the activation status of the
INPUT switches.
• RED: Power on, no connection
• ORANGE: IP received
• GREEN: Integrator connected to Portal
• FLASHING GREEN (1 sec interval): INPUT 1 ON
• FLASHING GREEN (3 sec interval): INPUT 2 ON
• FLASHING GREEN (5 sec interval): INPUT 1 ON
and INPUT 2 ON
Pre-Installation
1. Determine a mounting location that is near intended monitoring equipment.
2. An Ethernet connection with internet access is required to communicate with the EverAlert
Management Portal.
• Ethernet 10/100 Base-T
• DHCP enabled network is required
3. CAUTION: If the Integrator will be connected to Life Safety equipment such as a re alarm panel, it is
recommended that these connections be made by the licensed installer of the system.

Integrator Output Function
The Integrator Output can activate secondary low-powered devices, such as a
strobe or alarm (or a larger secondary relay for devices requiring more power),
when one of the Inputs or a specied Alarm/Weather Alert is activated. The Output
relay is capable of supporting voltage up to 60VDC or 125VAC, with a maximum
switched current and carrying current of 1A. DO NOT EXCEED THIS VOLTAGE
AND CURRENT. If greater voltage/current is required for the connected device, the
Output relay can be used to command a larger relay.
The wiring shown in Step 5 will keep the secondary device inactive until the
associated Input is activated. Switching the wiring from the Normally Closed
(1) contact to the Normally Open (3) contact will reverse the Output function,
meaning the secondary device will be active until the associated Input and/or
Alarm is activated.

INTEGRATOR QUICK START INSTALLATION GUIDE
Mounting
1. Wall Mount
a. Position EverAlert Integrator in the desired location.
b. Use at least one screw on each ange of EverAlert Integrator to
attach to wall.
2. Desktop, Shelf or Table Top
a. Place EverAlert Integrator upside down on a smooth, at
surface.
b. Peel off the rubber feet from the adhesive strip and place them
down onto each corner of the EverAlert Integrator.
c. Turn over the EverAlert Integrator so that it is resting on the
rubber feet.
Installation
1. Connect the supplied external power supply to the barrel jack
power connector and plug into AC wall receptacle.
2. Connect Ethernet cable to EverAlert Integrator and to a network
switch or router.
Alarm Denitions
EverAlert sites come with a number of precongured alarms. To add
a new alarm, follow the steps below.
a. Login to incloud.american-time.com.
b. Click on the Site where the EverAlert Integrator will be installed.
c. Select "Alarm Denitions" from the Admin drop down menu.
d. Click on "Alarms," then click "Add New" at the top of the page.
e. TITLE: Enter the Alarm Title (i.e. Fire, Tornado or Lockdown).
f. INSTRUCTIONS: Enter the information that will display on the
screen when the Alarm is triggered. This is most commonly
the instructions that provide direction to the recipients of the
message.
g. PRIORITY: Select the Alarm priority. The priority sets the
override sequence with 1 being the highest to 10 being the
lowest. The higher priority Alarm will override the lower priority
Alarm if both occur at the same time.
h. AUDIO: Select an audio le for the Alarm.
i. PANEL COLOR: Select the panel color for the display
background when the Alarm is triggered.
j. MOBILE BUTTON COLOR: This is the color of the button that
issues the Alarm from the mobile device.
k. MOBILE ENABLED: Enables or disables the ability to send the
Alarm from a mobile device.
l. ENABLED: Enables or disables the Alarm. If disabled, the Alarm
will not display as an option for the integrator.
m.Click on the green Save button to save the Alarm.
n. Repeat steps d – m for additional Alarms Denitions.
Congure the EverAlert Integrator on
inCloud
a. Click on "Alarm Integrators" from the Admin drop down menu.
b. Click "Add New" at the top of the page.
c. MAC: Enter the serial number from the bottom of the Integrator.
Carefully verify the serial number entered into the eld matches
the number on the device as this eld cannot be edited once
saved.
d. NAME: Enter the desired name of the integrator.
e. INPUT 1 ALARM: Select the desired Alarm from the drop down
list.
f. INPUT 2 ALARM: Select the desired Alarm from the drop down
list.
g. DESCRIPTION/NOTES: A brief description about the device
such as the location of the Integrator can be entered here.
h. Click the green Save button.
i. If the displays have been already installed and provisioned, the
screen will populate a list of all the displays for that site and all
the displays will automatically be assigned to the Integrator.
For each additional Integrator added, the displays will be
automatically assigned to the Integrator. If adding more than one
Integrator to the site, the displays will need to be assigned as
desired after the last Integrator has been added. Reference the
Installation Manual for assigning displays.
j. Repeat steps a – h for additional Integrator devices.
If using the Output function, the desired parameters for the Output
to be activated can be set on the Edit Integrator page, which can be
reached by clicking on the Integrator name while in the Device List.
The Output can be set to be triggered by All Alarms (meaning both
Inputs and all Weather Alerts), by following either one or both of the
Inputs (meaning the Output will be triggered any time the specied
Input is active), or by specic Weather Alerts. Note that only Alert-
level Weather Alarms will be available.
Wiring
The EverAlert Integrator (INPUT 1 or INPUT 2) can be connected to
any normally open contact closure type switch. The Integrator can
also be connected using the Output function as shown below to
activate a secondary device (such a strobe or siren) when an alarm
becomes active. See section 11 for details on the Output function.
All EverAlert Displays congured on the same Site as the EverAlert
Integrator will have their full screen alarms triggered when the Input
contact closure switch is closed. They will remain active until the
switch is opened again. See wiring diagram below for inactive state.
